KARACHI: The Place is a large entertainment complex that was launched in 2013 in Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Phase VIII. It provides a wide variety of recreational activities that keep kids as well as the entire family engaged.
It boasts Karachi’s largest cinema, Nueplex Cinema, on the second floor that has been built by renowned architects. It consists of five state-of-the-art screens with world class technology.

Furthermore, the initiative also encouraged local filmmakers and investors to invest in large budget films as the targeted audience increased exponentially. This in turn has resulted in creation of jobs for the young generation in the film industry.


Before the inauguration of The Place, Phase VIII only had minimal recreational options for families.

In addition, the area also witnessed a hike in the value of real estate as The Place added a multitude of attractions for denizens of this vicinity.
It is evident that the planners of The Place exercised a great degree of foresight as they took a large risk by dedicating such an immense investment to the entertainment industry. The complex boasts of high-standard maintenance and maximum security for visitors.

The Place continues to attract even those individuals who are not too keen on entertainment due to its sprawling shopping mall that houses top brands.
